More than just victims: the truth about human trafficking

Benjamin S Buckland

Public Policy Review, 2008, vol. 15, issue 1, 42-47

Abstract: Benjamin S Buckland argues that the language used to debate human trafficking can cloud the issue itself. Exploitation is only one side of the story. Deep‐rooted socioeconomic and political reasons explain why some people fall into illegal or forced migration channels, and tackling these fundamentals requires a new language to acknowledge the agency and ambition of trafficked persons.
